Google Nexus 5 by LG Users Thread!

Recommended Posts

Interesting, Brian Klug on the All About Android show says that the N5 has the same panel as the Droid DNA, which is a JDI panel. An "LG" phone is shipping with a non LG panel.

 

What is a JDI panel and a non LG panel?

The Nexus 5 puts my friends GS3 LTE to shame. -99-103 dBm vs ~108-116 dBm at the same spot.

 

Do you have any guesses as far as whether or not the lte radio on the nexus will also have a strong band 41 rf performance? I'd dislike for it not to. I'd imagine band 25 would take over lte replacing 41 on the phone.

 

 

Looking at the menus, there's no way to disable band 25, right.

 

 

Well, I'm still kinda hoping for some band 41 sceenshots on the nexus 5. 60+ mbps?!

For anyone like myself that has the problem where the phone rings OK for an incoming call but you cannot answer and the phone then locks up I don't know why it is happening but I think I know under what conditions it happens. At home I only get 3g and never have this problem. At work I am continuously connected to LTE and this problem occurs often, maybe half the time. When my phone is set to 3g only the problem stops.

So, does anyone have an idea why when connected to LTE an incoming call cannot be answered? Both Google and Sprint do not know and Google wants to replace the phone. I suspect it is more of a software issue rather than the phones hardware but maybe someone more knowledgeable has an idea. Thanks

I downloaded the Field Test App but when I try and change anything its asking for the code...how do you get around this? Does anyone know what bands are available in the Baton Rouge, LA area?

 

 

I did it this way......it was very simple and straight forward. After down loading the drivers the instructions in this thread got there "QWIKLY"

This happens to a lot of people, but to get this glitch evaluated we need to make a runngin list of names that has this issue.

Could it be that when the phone is on LTE and it is paged by the network ,to tell the phone it has a call - it just doesn't fall back to 3G properly to connect?

My phone seems to be having an issue in some places around Las Vegas.

 

When the setting is global I lose my connection every few minutes and it says searching for service, even though I am in a strong 3g area. It does this both at work (spotty coverage) and at home (great coverage). It doesn't do this at school, or at my brothers house.

 

If I set it to LTE it still does this. If I set it to 3g only the problem disappears.

 

When on global, I can get and use LTE when I am near an LTE tower.

 

If you look at the pic you will see the cycle of it losing service.

 

Anyone who is smarter than me could you please explain why this is happening?

I see this in some locations around the Washington DC area too.  Since it doesn't happen everywhere, I am throwing in in the eCSFB bucket and am assuming it will fix itself as the network progresses.  I have only noticed this in areas without LTE coverage.

After thinking about it for a bit, I wonder if this is the new single radio behavior for when it searches for LTE.  If there is only one radio path, it might need to drop the 1X/EVDO connection while it scans for LTE.  Then it reconnects when it can't find LTE... rinse and repeat.

Still looking for a way to manually update the PRL ourselves to a chosen one...any ideas on how to enable the DIAG port on the phone?

 

Try following the guide here.  I was able to flash my PRL through this method.

Yeah thats the problem...no idea how to enable the DIAG port enable to get basic-flasher to work.

 

I don't know how to get Diag mode to enable on a Nexus 5.  There has got to be a way.  Once you find out, please let me know so I can update the guide for Nexus 5 devices on how to enable Diag mode.

    • In the conference call they had two question on additional spectrum. One was the 800 spectrum. They are not certain what will happen, thus have not really put it into their plans either way (sale or no sale). They do have a reserve level. Nationwide 800Mhz is seen as great for new technologies which I presume is IOT or 5g slices.  T-Mobile did not bite on use of their c-band or DOD.  mmWave rapidly approaching deadlines not mentioned at all. FWA brushes on this as it deals with underutilized spectrum on a sector by sector basis.  They are willing to take more money to allow FWA to be mobile (think RV or camping). Unsure if this represents a higher priority, for example, FWA Mobile in RVs in Walmart parking lots working where mobile phones need all the capacity. In terms of FWA capacity, their offload strategy is fiber through joint ventures where T-Mobile does the marketing, sales, and customer support while the fiber company does the network planning and installation.  50%-50% financial split not being consolidated into their books. I think discussion of other spectrum would have diluted the fiber joint venture discussion. They do have a fund which one use is to purchase new spectrum. Sale of the 800Mhz would go into this. It should be noted that they continue to buy 2.5Ghz spectrum from schools etc to replace leases. They will have a conference this fall  to update their overall strategies. Other notes from the call are 75% of the phones on the network are 5g. About 85% of their sites have n41, n25, and n71, 90% 5g.  93% of traffic is on midband.  SA is also adding to their performance advantage, which they figure is still ahead of other carriers by two years. It took two weeks to put the auction 108 spectrum to use at their existing sites. Mention was also made that their site spacing was designed for midrange thus no gaps in n41 coverage, while competitors was designed for lowband thus toggles back and forth for n77 also with its shorter range.  
    • The manual network selection sounds like it isn't always scanning NR, hence Dish not showing up. Your easiest way to force Dish is going to be forcing the phone into NR-only mode (*#*#4636#*#* menu?), since rainbow sims don't support SA on T-Mobile.
    • "The company’s unique multi-layer approach to 5G, with dedicated standalone 5G deployed nationwide across 600MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz delivers customers a consistently strong experience, with 85% of 5G traffic on sites with all three spectrum bands deployed." Meanwhile they are very close to a construction deadline June 1 for 850Mhz of mmWave in most of Ohio covering 27500-28350Mhz expiring 6/8/2028. No reported sightings.  Buildout notice issue sent by FCC in March 5, 2024 https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/letterPdf/LetterPdfController?licId=4019733&letterVersionId=178&autoLetterId=13060705&letterCode=CR&radioServiceCode=UU&op=LetterPdf&licSide=Y&archive=null&letterTo=L  No soecific permits seen in a quick check of Columbus. They also have an additional 200Mhz covering at 24350-25450 Mhz and 24950-25050Mhz with no buildout date expiring 12/11/2029.

They're completely avoiding talking about mmWave.
